Thomas Hardy, A Collection
I've not read very much of Thomas Hardy's writings. I remember enjoying 'Under The Greenwood Tree', beginning (but not finishing) 'A Pair of Blue Eyes', and browsing through others, avoiding the most tragic of his stories. Somehow, over time, I have ended up with these:
I was drawn to the seventies paperbacks with their attractive photographs and so, whenever I spotted one I had to have it, and before that a few newer Penguin editions. Thomas Hardy was a great writer and I do intend to read these sometime, particularly as I love writing that is highly descriptive of the English countryside.

I must read some more Hardy. Loved Tess and although some people find it a little depressing I liked Jude the Obscure, too. You have a good collection!
ReplyDeleteHello, yes I must read another Hardy sometime too. The two books you mention seem to be among the most popular of his writings but I do tend to steer away from really sad books or tragedies, that's just me!
